Easy Veggie Quiche is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or meatless main for dinner. As well, I like that it’s a great way to use leftover vegetables.

It’s so simple to make but always looks elegant. It can be made and frozen which really comes in handy during the holidays.

How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?

Blind baking is simply the process of baking your pie crust prior to filling it. Blind baking, or pre-baking, your pie crust will help it from becoming soggy.

How do I blind-bake pie crusts?

To blind bake a pie crust, pierce the bottom of the crust 4 to 5 times with the tines of a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Proceed with your recipe.

Can I freeze Easy Veggie Quiche?

Yes, quiche freezes really well.

To freeze quiche before baking: Place quiche on a tray or baking pan and freeze until firm. Wrap with freezer paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil or slide quiche into a freezer bag. Seal, label, and freeze for up to one month.

When ready to serve, remove from the freezer. Do not thaw. Unwrap and bake, as usual, adding 10 to 20 minutes extra time.

To freeze quiche after baking: Proceed as above. Do not thaw before reheating. Remove wrap and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 25 minutes, or until heated through.
